Armand works on the assembly line of a tinned pasta factory. One evening he opens up a tin of ravioli for dinner. Much to his surprise, a genie jumps out, promising to fulfill any two wishes. This is a Swiss version of “Aladdin’s Lamp” that has the genie popping out of a tin. The genie looks odd but is actually highly skilled. The face of the genie trying to return to the can after finishing his task will produce titters.
